Default Gas Warning

I just heard from someone who just talked to someone at Shell, and they are forecasting gas prices to possibly go up over $4 per gallon... you better fill up now! Having a gas guzzler sometimes stinks, but it really makes me appreciate having a bike too.

Good luck to all of you.

My brother's dog's girfriend's owner's sister said the same thing.


Not a bad idea to fill up anyway.

Well in stock form and bolt ons, the LS1 is not much of a gas guzzler. It has better mileage than most V6 engines that I have seen. Heavy foot, maybe? Its sounds like better invest in some stocks, rather than car parts. When gas was about $1.40 93 octane, its was already $2.00 in California almost 2 years ago. Anyway, good I also have 3 bikes choose from.
For $4.00, I might as well just put race fuel.
Mikey, and I was just thinking about that super charger you posted, I quess if you want to play, you got pay.

It just doesn't matter to me anymore.

I think I am becoming numb in paying these continuing price increases.

Default NOt per Gallon!! Its per Barrel



Gas is not going to jump to $4 a gallon!!! Yes the rigs are shut down, but the storm has already passed many of the rigs and the will be looked at by weeks end and damage estimates will be in and they will get to work on fixing them. Many experts reports of maybe 20-30 cents increase per gallon! The $4 is per barrel! Going from $66 to $70 per Barrel not per Gallon! LMAO

I heard the radio report this morning. Oil barrels were at $69 and some change, and expect to hit over $70 today.
They did also say that Hurricane Katrinia will have some effect on gas prices and rising them as said above.
I have my golf cart charged up and ready to go. Maybe installing a solar panel on the top to help charge the batteries.
